Thuull Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 There is only ONE thing in a WZ that gives me tunnel vision. The second I hear a tracer missile go off, I stop what I am doing, find the artillery guy, and do nothing but make sure that he/she dies...often times for the rest of the match. I don't care what I'm doing, I might have some healer completely locked down, or I have a 1v1 off to the side that I was working on for 45 seconds...doesn't matter. I walk away from it and kill the tracer missile guy. I really don't know why i do this. Lots of reasons I guess...tracer missile has a very distinct sound, so it gets your attention. Another is that if you leave a tracer missile guy alone, he *will* kill you with the stacking debuff it puts on you. Simply can't let a tracer missile guy sit back and do this thing, he'll wreck whatever it is your team is trying to do. So...if you guys are in a WZ and have one or two guys just not leaving you alone, this is probably why. It's funny, I'm generally a pretty good team player in WZs, and I just completely lose my crap when I'm around you guys =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thuull Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Don't hate the player, hate the game. Heh, yeah. Don't get me wrong, there's no "hate the player" here. It's a survival instinct. If Tracer Spammer is left alive and gets his heat signatures built up, the fight's over. Go find somewhere else to play. Have to lock him down immediately, and keep him that way, or it gets out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's half the reason I'm now a pyro merc. So I'm less noticable. At least until power shot/railshot/detonator all go off in quick succession. At least I can run and rapid shot with a 16% chance to proc my cylinder with a slow on it. Better than no slow with someone in your face keeping your tracer locked.

And keep my stealth scan ready for the op's vanish. So I think everyone has a class they tend to target for one reason or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I die alot to 2-5 enemys focusing me down the second I show my face but I still laugh all the way to the win column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestasSilva Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Wait a second. This is a post that involves someone not auto-dieing to Tracer Missile spam, but they actually move, engage and kill the noob who spams TM? This IS a new and original thread. I mean really someone who uses their brain? AMAZING. You sir, are my hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
